While Harvey may not be a starter, he should add quality depth. Can you ever
have too many good defensive backs, especially with the rash of injuries
BYU's had in the secondary the past couple of years? Its great to see
transfers coming in from quality programs.

This is a great pick-up for the Cougars. Harvey Jackson should compete
immediately for playing time, and will help out Trent Trammel and the other
talent in BYU's secondary. Like I've said before, if BYU can get a win
in Texas then the Cougars will likely be in a playoff spot at the end of the
season.

Good news for the cougs!! We have struggled mightily lately in the secondary.
This year will be a very strong secondary. Things are looking good. Hopefully
we wont have very many injuries in fall. Go cougs!

Welcome Harvey and best wishes for a great experience in Provo on and off the
field.

In my way too early to call prediction, I see the Y going 9-3
this year...I think the Houston game is a trap game since the Y will be playing
on a very short turnaround.

Finally, I'm respectfully seeking an
explanation of the logic behind the Big 5 and Power Conference monikers
(admitting that logic doesn't typically play in a world where the Big 10
has 12 teams and the Big 12 has 10).

If there are only 4 seats at the
playoff table how can there be a Big 5? Simple arithmetic dictates that at
least one of those conferences will be left on the sidelines. And if you
don't have an automatic birth for your conference champion, exactly what is
"Power" that you have.

Nice balanced comment on the
whole. Thanks for attending! Not sure Safety is our weakest spot on defense,
but good opinion well stated.

Undefeated will NOT cut it (but it
would sure be nice!). Undefeated and top ten is still on the outside looking
in. All the dominoes would have to tip just right including six to ten teams
ahead of that mythical undefeated team losing and losing at the right time.

So let's take it one game at a time and let post season take care
of itself.

The nice thing about this is....the Cougars get three graduates from other
universities, and it doesn't even take a scholarship off the table. With
the depth they have already, and if two of these three become impact players,
which I think they will, watch out baby, this could be a special season on the
horizon!

This will be the best and deepest the Cougs have been in the defensive backfield
for many, many years. Welcome aboard Mr. Jackson. Most years, the LBs are the
strength of the defense. This year the DBs will be the strength, although the
LBs won't be far behind.

I don't mean to be the water on
the fire, but as for some of the comments - I don't think the Cougs will go
undefeated. I'm predicting a 10 win regular season. And even if the Cougs
do go undefeated, I don't think they have a shot at the top 4 with the
schedule they have.

In the future, if they have a schedule like
they had last year, and go undefeated, they'll have a shot at the top 4.
But an undefeated season in 2014 would likely land them in a more prestigious
bowl than the Fight Hunger or Poinsettia.

Regardless, any bowl game
is better than staying home and bowling in December. Just ask our neighbors to
the North.

@Scores. Just because they've gotten their degree doesn't mean they
won't take classes or get a scholarship. I bet each one of them will get a
scholarship because you can't just attend a school to play sports and not
take any classes.
